i have done BA from English literature..can anyone suggest me best career options in the field of literature.
Hello,
There are many avenues to explore for a graduate in English Literature, but primarily you may look for job after your graduation or you want to go for higher studies. If you choose to go with the former options then youcan work in the field of journalism such as top publishing/media company for various roles, one of the area you can explore in writing, if there's a certain field that interests you then you can become expert in that, suppose technology interests you a great deal, you can become technical writer and work as a full-time, freelancer, part time according to your convenience. All these take time to happen, especially in the field of writing, you can start with your own blog and can also contribute to various sites, at first it's best you explore all the areas of writing in order to know what field really interest you. When it comes to MNC, it's great to know what are in-demand skills, and hone it accordingly, especially in this time and age where technology is so advanced and social media has expanded in such as large scale, these are some very good options as well. Another florishing industry is Ed-Tech Industry, you can apply for the post of faculty or content development.
In government sector, you are eligible to apply for any exam based on graduation such as UPSC, State PSCs, SSC CGL Banking Exams such as IBPS & SBI(PO/Clerk, Nabard Grade B-Officer, RBI Grade B Officer/ Assistant, Insurance Companies such as LIC, GIC, NIACL, for the post of Assistant/AAO. Similiarly, Railway too recruit for posts which you can apply.
If you want to go for higher studies, you can do so by doing master's in the same field or doing BEd which is compulsory for teaching in school. With Master's in you field, you can qualify for NET/SET if you're interested in teaching in higher education. In case you want to go for a change you can go with MBA/Law program(LLB) etc.
There are many good carrer option after completing English literature degree, I'm listing some here:
1. Content writing and blogging
2. Creative writing
3. Teaching and academia
4. Mass communication
5. Journalism
You can also go for the M.A. in English literature, and then for the research in same.
